I took my little Jenny to a party last nightAt ten o'clock it ended in a heckuva fightWhen someone hit my Jenny she went out like a lightPoor JennyAnd then some joker went and called the cops on the phoneSo everybody scattered out for places unknownI couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alonePoor JennyWell Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'She made it with a bangAccordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'Jenny is the leader of a teenage gangJenny has a brother and he's hot on my trailHer daddy wants to ride me out of town on a railI hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jailPoor JennyI went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cellShe wasn't very glad to see me, that I could tellIn fact, to tell the truth, she wasn't lookin' too wellPoor JennyHer eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a frightSongtexteShe looked as though she'd been a'cryin' half of the nightI told her I was sorry, she said "Get out of sight"Poor JennyIt seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended, a heckuva fateThis party was the first one she ever had attendedIt had to happen on our very first dateJenny has a brother and he's hot on my trailHer daddy wants to ride me out of town on a railI hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jailPoor Jenny Aus Songtexte Mania
